Britney Spears Claims Justin Timberlake Got Her Pregnant, Says She Got an Abortion in New Memoir

Britney Spears is making a deeply personal claim about her time dating Justin Timberlake.

Inside her memoir, The Woman in Me, the 41-year-old popstar writes about the time she allegedly got an abortion, after becoming pregnant with Timberlake’s baby. In an excerpt obtained by People, Spears claims that the “Cry Me a River” singer did not want to become a father. 

“But Justin definitely wasn’t happy about the pregnancy. He said we weren’t ready to have a baby in our lives, that we were way too young,” Spears says in the book via People. 

ET has reached out to Timberlake’s rep for comment on the allegations. 

Spears also opened up to People in a new interview about her role as a mother to her two sons, Sean Preston, now 18, and Jayden James, 17, whom she shares with her former husband, Kevin Federline.
“Starting a family was the fulfillment of my dreams,” she told the outlet, underscoring the profound joy she found in nurturing her boys, who currently reside with their father in Hawaii. “Being a mom was my dream come true,” Spears says.

Timberlake shares two sons, Silas, 8, and Phineas, 2, with his wife, Jessica Biel. 

Spears, and Timberlake, 42, dated from 1999 to 2002. Inside of her highly-anticipated memoir, the “Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman” singer also writes about the first kiss she shared with Timberlake, when they were teens on The Mickey Mouse Club.

In the excerpt, obtained by People, Spears reveals that the kiss happened when they were young teens, hanging out for a MMC sleepover.

“[Once] at a sleepover, we played Truth or Dare, and someone dared Justin to kiss me,” she writes according to People. “A Janet Jackson song was playing in the background as he leaned in and kissed me.”

The audio version of Spears‘ memoir, The Woman in Me, will be narrated by five-time Oscar nominee Michelle Williams.

Simon & Schuster Audio made the announcement Friday, which also included a surprising tidbit — that the 41-year-old pop star will read an introduction to the audiobook. 

“This book has been a labor of love and all the emotions that come with it,” Spears said in a news release. “Reliving everything has been exciting, heart-wrenching, and emotional, to say the least. For those reasons, I will only be reading a small part of my audiobook. I am so grateful to the amazing Michelle Williams for reading the rest of it.”

In the same news release, Williams voiced her solidarity with Spears.

“I stand with Britney,” the actress said.

The Woman in Me is available for pre-order and is set to be released on Oct. 24.
